seedance-prompt-short
Before producing prompt text, a prompt-ready block, a rewrite, an example, or a compiled clip, load the Director's Read, classify the brief, and complete its canonical narrative or non-narrative record. Translate that record into visible or audible carriers and keep its internal labels out of final generation prose.
Compress Seedance prompts without losing the production signal. A short prompt still needs mode, subject, action, camera, light, sound when useful, and constraints. Remove filler before removing physical details.
Load the Director's Read before compression, even when the requested output is only one line. Briefs with a dramatic story turn complete its ten-field narrative record first. Observation/performance without that turn and utility briefs use its two-line non-narrative intent and refusal without fabricated drama; short output must still preserve the requested expression or rhythm. Short means compressed output, not skipped judgment.
When sequence state is present, compression must preserve continuity locks, exact reference tags, actual opening state, current clip action, endpoint, completed beat exclusions, and reserved future beats. Do not compress away the words that keep a continuation from replaying completed action or leaking future action.
Intent
Compression is an act of judgment about what the user loves most. What survives the cut is the soul of their shot; everything else goes first. If the user would mourn a deleted word, it was never filler.
Compression Priority
Preserve in this order:
- Reference tags and their role.
- Subject or product identity.
- Action verb and visible endpoint.
- For narrative work, the visible suppressed behavior and non-transferable detail that carry the Director's Read.
- One camera move.
- Physical light source or atmosphere.
- Audio cue or silence instruction.
- Safety, IP, or continuity constraint.
- Sequence state clauses: actual opening state, continuity locks, completed beats, and reserved beats.
Delete generic adjectives, duplicate style labels, obvious background details, secondary camera moves, and secondary actions before deleting preservation constraints.
For bilingual or mixed-language compression, load multilingual-community-examples. Keep only the language mix that clarifies reference roles, dialogue, camera terms, or safe production constraints.
Compact Templates
| Need | Template |
|---|---|
| T2V | [Subject] [action and endpoint] in [scene]. Camera: [one move]. Light/style: [physical source]. Sound: [cue]. Constraint: [risk/continuity]. |
| I2V | @Image1 preserved; only [motion/light/camera] changes. Camera: [one move]. Sound: [cue]. Constraint: [what must not change]. |
| V2V | @Video1 controls [motion/camera/timing] only; new subject [anchor]. [Action]. Do not transfer [identity/scene/logo]. |
| Chinese | @Image1为参考，严格保持[主体]不变；仅加入[动作/光线/镜头]。声音：[提示]。 |
Output Contract
Return one compact prompt, ideally 30-100 English words or an equivalent Chinese prompt when the user asks for Chinese or maximum compression. Translate the Director's Read into visible or audible carriers and keep its internal labels out of the prompt. Include a one-line note only if something important was removed.
